Jackie,

The minute I get down, I try to go outside. I walk as much as I can, but sometimes just look up at the sky and say "wow" there is a lot of life out here and I want to be part of it. Yoga is great, but stretching and breathing on a mat or towel in quiet room works too. Book yourself a couple of dinner outings or coffees or walks. Keep something on the calendar to look forward to, even if it is small. Pace yourself. Make your bedroom very inviting, so when you are pooped you can take yourself to a quiet spot, relax, breath, pray and go to sleep. Rest is very important. I have picked up some new ideas from the wise people on your post. Accepting where we are is important....the new normal as they say.

Friends forever,
Catherine
